Our neighbor, Robert "Kelly", was a true gentleman and always had a pat on the head or wave for our pup. He always gave a smile or wave when he passed by our home and it was always a joy to see him smiling as he cruised by in his Corvette. Something that I realized I missed these past years. Rest well in peace and perfect health, in the arms of angels, sir. I know that you will be missed my many.

I am so sorry to hear of Kelly’s passing. I was not feeling good or I would have been here for the viewing. I would like to express my condolences and prayers for all his family. Kelly was a very good man. I can remember when my daughter was young he would pretend seeing Santa Claus on Christmas Eve for her. Diane I am so sorry for your loss. Kelly also made it to my husbands funeral almost 12 years ago. This would have meant so much to me to be there for you. I am so very sorry. Many prayers and strong hugs for you. May he Rest in Peace.
